Your left knee is arthritic, Your spine is warping too Your reactions aren’t so quick And you’re often in the loo, But we cannot help you Your time is simply due. It’s normal for your age. Your skin’s become quite dry As well as your nether parts Your outfit isn’t fly And you’re far more prone to farts But it’s been written in the cards It’s been sung by many bards It’s normal for your age. You tell me it’s an illness And you want it treated fast I’m afraid it’s your willfulness You weren’t designed to last The diagnosis is that your youth is in the past We won’t treat your condition; the die’s already cast. It’s normal for your age.

Normal for Your Age
If there one thing driving me insane Is that I still have the pain Of my anger inside me Anger that you can see Why couldn't you give, to hear my plead That I am in fear and in need That this anger could overtake my mind Who knows what you'd find If you told me not to do that now Or to find ways to figure out how To quell my inner child's rage But you skipped that page and went right for my heart Then wondered why I ripped you apart You sought not to help with what remains You forever sought personal gain Let that sink in to your soul You cared not to help a part, of someone that gave themselves whole

This Anger
I did it alone… When I got my first heart break last November of 2014, I went through it alone…. At home. I fell to my knees in the shower crying my eyes out going through a break up & at the same time I felt as if I was shot in the heart by a gun, my heart didnt shatter, it just bled out empty as if there was a bullet hole. I tried to fix it with a bandage, hoping it can cover up that bullet hole. It did but it just made my heart feel so heavy that I needed to get blood out. But I decided to bleed a different way out… Razors slided across my skin, Not my wrist, but on my thighs. I didnt want anyone worrying at home because I didnt want to keep them alert that I was depressed and was really hurting having them see my cuts and think I was suicidal. Im not suicidal, I just wanted to different way to get rid of the pain without taking off the bandage off my heart that was keeping my heart alive. I walked during the day feeling dead inside and feeling the burning on my thighs. Walking around with a fake smile to show I was “fine” I sure fooled everyone Late nights are the worst though when everyone is asleep & im in the dark getting my emotions built up and my heart feeling heavy again…. Tears down my cheeks, trying to catch my breath. So many memories flashing through my head. They won’t stop, they never will. I lose a lot of sleep at night but get sleep during the day if I can. Sometimes I just wanted to sleep FOREVER because I was going through it alone…. At Home… Sure iv had friends text me & some took me out when I asked them to help me get out of the house, but I still went through it Alone…. At Home. 1 YEAR LATER Im still going through it alone… At home.. BUT doing better. Im still depressed but less than before. Razor blades are no longer slicing my skin, my scars & cuts have faded. Some still visible while others are gone. I still cover myself because I don’t wanna get questioned about them. I usually distract myself with music, drawing & texting my friends. The sleeping routine has become a habit… A MONTH LATER on the night of my 20th birthday I hung with my friends making me happy and forgetting about the past. When I went home my small family planned a birthday party with just us 5, before the party started they let me sleep a few hours. Those were my last ZZZs I caught during the day because the day after my birthday I woke up early on my own & was awake all day feeling good :) and since my 20th birthday… NO more overthinking or being unable to sleep and staying awake during the day feeling good :) I DID IT ALONE im not 100% out of my depression BUT im almost out :) I GOT THIS! -J.Pantoja

With bullet like words I'll let it rain So everyone can taste my pain Let them crumble under my strain Someone needs to ring the bell I already fell All my life I've tasted the flames of hell Hit after hit, bout after bout No ones there to help me out With deafened ears they hear my shouts I've ran out of options, ran out of luck Now I'm being ****** in, I'm stuck Will no one brave the quicksand and pull me up Look at the mess they made Not helping a friend that could've been saved I hope they never come to my grave

Bullet Like Words
She just runs around all day. At night she can't sleep. I watch her as she stops to weep. She's feeling overwhelmed but keeps to herself. Bottling it all up on the top shelf. So I just watch her unravel. As she travels. Through this grey, ugly life. I wish that I could help with the strife. But she just passes me by.

Watching From Afar
There came a time when i finally realized. there's no point in living this life. I can't be who i need to be. I cannot see what i hoped to see. I try try and try again. A vicious cycle to never end. Endless hurt, endless pain and grief. Don't you see what i mean. I failed countless times. Many more than would fit in this rhyme. My point is i'm done. I can't sleep and there's no peace. This broken world doesn't really need me. I wish i could just, give it up. But, some won't let me, insisting my time's not up. So i will sit here just awaiting. The day when you are stating. That I, have failed.
